Rho Ophiuchus, one of my favourite parts of the sky. A two panel mosaic in LRGB 1hour and 20mins in each filter imaged remotely from Spain with the FSQ106 at F3.6 with the ZWO ASI6200MM Pro 35mm sensor. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. PI makes light work of a seamless mosaic.


Thanks for looking

Hi Peter

Nicely imaged and an enviable target for us poor souls too far north of the equator!

Its good to see the Tak reducer works well with full frame, which version do you have? I have the standard (cheapest) version, non QE, but have noticed the need to refocus between filters and some minor issues at the corners

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. 

Hi Adrian,

Rho Ophi has been one I have wanted to do for years,  only skimming the horizon during the summer, not good for the UK.

Its just the standard Tak FSQ 0.73 reducer, It's very critical on spacing and running just over its limits with those tiny 3.76um pixels, as you say minor issues in the corners....TBH nothing that I am bothered about.

I was going to leave a blank reply to indicate how I was speechless for a long while but I will just say WOW!

Another beauty Peter and one I would gladly hang on my wall and never get tired of looking at it.

Thank you Steve, I am having it printed for my wall 😉, I've been chasing Rho for years.....I am planning on a bigger mosaic of the area which will include the Blue Horse.

This is lovely, delicate and vibrant. FSQ106 at f3.6 and a full frame hdr 16bit sensor - what a combination for this region of the sky. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you....Its a great little rig
